The chairman of the Knesset Foreign Affairs and Defense Subcommittee for Judea and Samaria Affairs, MK Tzvi Succot, submitted a new bill on Sunday that seeks to bring about the cancellation of the Oslo Accords and to regulate the State of Israel’s status in the face of diplomatic agreements that have been violated.
The bill states that the Knesset Foreign Affairs and Defense Committee would be authorized to determine if a side to a diplomatic agreement violated its obligations or publicly declared that it is not bound by it.
MK Succot said: “The Oslo Accords were a resounding failure and a serious security fiasco that was imposed on the people of Israel and brought waves of terror whose effects we are forced to deal with to this very day. The time for correction has come. It is time for the Knesset to take responsibility and legislate a law that will cancel these reckless agreements that endanger the State of Israel and give free gifts to the enemy.”
The Oslo Accords are regarded by numerous idealists as a notable historical milestone; however, in reality, they signify a deeply flawed attempt. The two-state solution proposed by Oslo was always an unrealistic aspiration, and it is now clear that terrorism has not abated while Israel confronts its most critical struggle to date. The harm caused by the Oslo Accords since their inception in 1993 is considerable, and Israel cannot revert to rectify it. Nonetheless, looking ahead, Israel has the chance to forge a future that guarantees the security and safety it needs, unencumbered by the constraints of an agreement that failed to deliver both security and lasting peace. It is time to revoke the Oslo Accords!
